And just like that, another week comes to a close. It’s amazing how quickly time passes. I’m missing my littlest girl tonight. Grace and I had a lovely mommy, daughter date this evening. But sometimes those sweet moments with Grace remind me that I will never have another minute with Kayleigh. The grief rolls in and if I’m not careful I can get lost in it. I have learned to battle the sadness with thanksgiving and hope. It’s hard to be sad when you’re thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for. And those moments of intentional thankfulness water my soul and help my hope grow.

Sadness will still come, and that is ok. Just remember, joy come in the morning!

Lamentations 3:23
23 Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.
